USB Problem

[jg2005]

Trying to fix a computer running XP SP2 with a usb port problem.

When I plug a USB flash drive/pen drive into any USB port the computer
sees it (i.e. an icon appears in the toolbar) but when I open MS
Explorer the drive does not show up at all.

Wondering if anyone would know why? Any help appreciated.

There are many possible reasons. I've put together some...
